Dr, McKIbbin has been dUmWu.'d fro.ii his

wliheld from ihe public, including Mr. Cleg'

Charle llrewer was lorn In Cornhlll, llos
ton, In March l8o. When aloul seven he
was setil lo Hast Sudbury lo school. 'I here
happened his first recoided adventure, hi fall
ing off a horse and having hi cheek deeply
cut and hi jaw lionc broken. Kvcn at lhat
early age he wanted lo go lo sea, and when
the war of l8u broke out he urged hit mother
lo let him join a privateer as a " powder
monkey." Hut Mr. llrewer father wai then
dead and his mother refuted lo let him go.
However, in common with other school Injys,
he turned out lo help erect Ihe earthworks ol
Fori Strong, on Noddles Island, which were
built In 1815. In 1818 he entered Ihe store of
George A Thomas Seaile a an apprentice.
He remained there three years, or until he
was 17. Then his mother, yielding to Ihe
almost daily expression of bis desire to po to
tea, consulted with Capt. John Trail, Capt.
Ilcnjamin Kich and Capt. Holland, three old
retired nietchantt and merchant captains, and
Umri their advice reluctantly consented lo lei
young llrewer "follow his lient." His first
voyage was at a green hand on the Palmer,
owned by llv: I.ee family and bound for Cal
cutta, His stages were $5 a month. 'Hie
voyage lasted sisteen months, and instead of
" curing " him, as his mother and friends
hoped it would, it only whetted hit appetite
for sea living. He made a second toyage In
Ihe Palmer, a short toyage lasting only five
months. He (hen shipped atari ordinary seaman
on board the Paragon bound for these islands,
ane leu notion, renruary 23, 1023 ami nan
long toyage of 182 day. She had on
board United States Consul Thomas Crocker,
and his clerk, Robert Kttvell. The second of
ficer was Capt. John Dominls, father
of the present Governor of Oahu and
Maui, Shortly after the Paragon reached
Honolulu, Queen 'KapiolanI, favorite wife of
Kamchaincha II, died at Lahaina, and the
I'aiagon, among several vessels, was chartered
lo carry passengers to the funeral. Voung
llrewer witnessed the funeral which was at
tended, he says, by nearly 12,000 natives.
Hi next toyage to these Islands was on
boaul the Chinchilla, Capt. Thos. Meek,
Voung llrewer, then only 22, sailing as first
officer. During the years 1826, 7 and 8, the
Chinchilla made toyages between China,
Sitka and Honolulu, taking American good)
from this port to Sitka, buying furs there and
taking them, together with Hawaiian sandal
wood, to Canton, In 1831, Captain llrewer,
then first ohicer of the Ivanhoe, brought the
first night blooming cereus lo Hono
lulu. Captain Hrewer's first command
was the schooner Victoria, belonging
to William French of Honolulu. That wat
in 1831, Captain llrewer afterwards coin,
manded other Honolulu-owned vetsels. Cap,
tain llrewer was the first to inform the
whaling captains at Honolulu of the great
abundance of whales in the Okhotsk Sea. In
1835, Captain llrewer and Henry A. Pierce
founded the firm of Pierce Sc llrewer. Hut,
in 1843, Mr, Pierce retiring, the firm took its
present name of C. lliewcr A Co. Captain
llrewer, concludes that portion of his reminis
cences which relate lo the Hawaiian Islands,
(which he persists in calling the "Sandwich"
Islands), with the following sentences : " My
life at the Sandwich Islands, during a period
of nearly twenty-six yean, was a very pleasant
one. I shall always remember with gratitude
the kindness I rcceited from the many friends
in Honolulu, and especially from His
Majesty King Kamehameha HI, who, from
boyhood lo his death, was always my firm
friend."
